Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa

One of the best resorts we have visited. Location in downtown Cabo San Lucas is wonderful everything is within walking distance. The concierge takes care of everything for you. We stayed at the ridge and there are two infinity pools immediately below and outside our room. 1 pool faced the marina and the Sea of Cortez in the other pool face the Pacific Ocean. there are many other pools in the lower part of the resort we went there a couple of times but the views at the pool on the ridge we're by far more impressive. We only had food at the resort one evening during our stay, the rest of the nights we cooked in our room or went out. Kitchen facilities you know our room, all of facilities in our room, more impressive. We love their stay will gladly recommend it to anybody

Playa Grande is one of the nicest resorts we have stayed in as part of the RCI network. The 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite was comfortable and well appointed. The staff did a great job of keeping the place neat, clean and replenished. The grounds were kept in excellent condition. The pool area was where we spent most of our time and Daniel at the pool bar did a great job attending to all our drink and food needs. The chairs near the adult-only pool overlooking the beach gave the feeling of being on the beach, which is unswimmable, while only a few steps from refreshment in the pool. Playa Grande is not a place that pumps you full of cheap alcohol and food just to keep you onsite. The food and drink at Playa Grande are quality and the prices reflect it. Don't expect to come here for a cheap Mexico experience. However, you get what you pay for and we were NOT disappointed. There are plenty of dining and entertainment options either within walking distance or a $10 cab ride. All the tourist traps are nearby as well as some fine dining options. Playa Grande's location puts you in easy reach of whatever food or activities you could want. Our objective was to spend the week in Cabo San Lucas relaxing and recharging. Playa Grande was the perfect place to realize our objectives and have a good time doing it.

Playa Grande is right off the marina within walking distance of several restaurants and activities. It couldn't be better located; just off the beaten path, but within walking distance of the beaten path. The staff was great, very friendly. The rooms are very nice with great views. The resort pools are OK, nothing special about them, but nice. It would be great if the ocean was swimmable, but too rough. I'd give the place five stars if it wasn't for a few things. First, there's someone around every corner tying to get you to attend a timeshare presentation. We actually did the presentation, and the sales people were super nice, of course, until they realized we weren't going to buy. Second, there are some cool amenities on the resort, but they are expensive. $10 to putt around on the 9-hole mini golf course, or $25 to use the wifi. Maybe this is standard for these types of resorts, but I know some offer free wifi. Lastly, and this might not be a big deal to some, but it didn't sit well with me. When we got there, our fridge wasn't working, but we didn't realize that for hours after putting some groceries in it. The hotel reimbursed us the cost of the groceries, but not the $30 round-trip taxi ride to go back to the store. I thought that would have gone a long way. Would I stay there again? Yes. Cabo is a fun town, and there's no place more conveniently located, relative to the city and the marina. But I'll probably see what else is out there first.

We love Grand Solmar. The locale, the room, the amenities are all beautiful. But something has happened with the management since the last time that we visited, in 2015. The menus at the restaurants are less expansive than they used to be. The concierge does not seem to know where and how Grand Solmar meal plans can be used. And everyone in management is afraid to tell three inconsiderate Americans on the pool deck to stop vaping. We are members of Grand Solmar, and of course we will return. We were very pleased that the restaurant management took great precautions to avoid allergy issues in our party. But we hope that vaping on pool decks is disallowed before we return.

This resort is a beautiful one. It's a timeshare owned resort but available for nonowners. Liked that they give u the option to either buy the meal plan or not which we optied not to buy since I not a big eater or drinker. The activities are pretty fun. The guys that runs the activities are awesome & vary helpful. All staff where vary helpful, nice, respectful, & courteous... Would definitely go back & recommend to anyone. Only one downside, the resort sits on the Pacific Ocean side which the currents are to strong & not allowed to swim. U can go up to it, lay out in the sand but not swim but not to worry the just a few blocks away either by walking or taxi, the marina on sea of Cortez side is not far or the resort has plenty of pools & recliner chairs to enjoy which we did.
